The Safety Consultation and Training Section (SCATS) of the State of Nevada’s Division of Industrial Relations recognizes the Papé Material Handling location in Sparks, Nevada for successful entry into the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). This is the second Papé location in Nevada to achieve this distinction from SCATS.

“Working with SCATS has been very beneficial for our Papé Material Handling location and our SHARP Papé Machinery location,” said Mark Kasel, Safety Director for Papé Group. “Through SCATS’ efforts, Papé as a whole has received valuable assistance regarding our safety program.”

Papé Material Handling is part of an elite group of businesses that have achieved SHARP status by maintaining exemplary health and safety standards. Participation in the no-cost program provides incentives and support to employers to develop, implement and continuously improve programs at their worksite(s). By taking these proactive measures, businesses can reduce accident costs and ensure compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) regulations.

“The Papé team in Nevada is a proven leader in worksite safety,” said Todd Schultz, Chief Administrative Officer for SCATS. “Their team’s dedication to employee health and well-being is exemplary, and SCATS is proud to continue our partnership.”

SCATS consultants provide employers with confidential hazard identification, program development, implementation assistance and training. Employers who implement effective safety programs and have a days-away restricted transfer (DART) rate below the national average for their industry may be recognized by SCATS. Successful SHARP participants may receive up to a three-year deferral from OSHA’s general schedule inspections.

Businesses interested in SHARP can contact SCATS at 775-688-3730 (Reno) or 702-486-9140 (Las Vegas). For more information or to schedule free training courses, businesses can call 1-877-4SAFENV or visit 4safenv.state.nv.us.
